These are pictures from the Athens Tree Lighting that took place in December 2009. Lori and Don Hibbard planned the event with help from other ALPACA members. This was a fun event that gave the kids uptown an activity to do while waiting for Santa pictures.

Christmas Tree Lighting

Hi All,
We will once again participate in the Christmas Tree Lighting event that is held uptown every year. This year the event will be on Thursday December 3rd from 6pm to 8pm. We will be located in the atrium of Five on Court and will be having a make your own Christmas ornament for the kids. We need donations for the kids to use to decorate their ornament. We already have a base for the ornament we need items to use to decorate with. Some ideas are beads, glitter, string, anything that the kids can use for their ornaments.Also we need volunteers to come on out to help with this project. This will be a great time to advertise for our up coming holiday show at the mall.Also those who come to help with the kids may bring ornaments that they made to sell at the event. Last year we set up a christmas tree with ornaments for sale. This is also a great way for people to see your work. Let me know if you are interested in participating.
Thanks.
Lori Hibbard

Update

Our mighty Secretary and Jewelry designer Beth Graham fights the cold

with hot cider and her favorite blanket.

Nancy Baur and Yvonne Mitchell were knitting away the cold weather

with Don Hibbard for company.

Here we have the presidents wife Janet Gustafson sporting her winter attire.

Unfortunately we found out later that her red Snuggie was a knockoff!!!!


Homecoming Art Market 2009


Well the classic Ohio fall weather seemed to win and we had a very poor showing at the Homecoming Art Market on Saturday but I would like to thank all the vendors that did come and brave the cold. I would also like to thank Don Hibbard for his effort with the hog roast. It did not happen on Saturday due to the rain and lack of people but Don gave it his all and tried to make it a good time for everyone.

Holiday Show Information
